Thanks for the info on towing.  I need the new top to tow easily.  I am sick of putting it up and down.

Just think of it as something that can and will wear out at sometime as its not built to be permanent.

It varies for most, but if you plan to tow accrossed the state at freeway speeds it won't help it last. Shorter freeway trips are made by many. I choose to take mine down for freeway travel and leave it up for the in town and 30-50 mph arterial speeds.

You can tow on the highway a bit, but you'll soon see something flapping that will cause damage.  I prefer to put the top down unless it is in winter and the vinyl is cold so it is too hard to snap together, so I'll just drive 55 mph or so.
